Leinen eest Kashiikija: Turbo!

Kashykia has taken part since the first edition of the 1 which was held in Björnska where singer Zhanar Dugalova reached second place behind Oxenryd and ahead of Arkaystia. The country used the national final Leinen eest Kashiikija to determine who shall represent the country in the Maia Song Contest. The National Final ran for 5 editions with mixed results coming from the show with early successes such as Zhanar Dugalova and Sirusho both finishing inside the top 3. While a sixth edition of the national final was planned with seven artists set to compete, the show was ultimately cancelled and Kashykia's national broadcaster Kashiikit Televisoon, announced that it would internally select the Kashyk entrant for Maia Song Contest. This process continued up until Maia Song Contest 24, where Leinen eest Kashiikija was brought back due to a promise made by the head of the Kashyk delegation, Marko Kuitunen. Marko stated that if Kashykia were to come anywhere near the top of the 23rd edition of the contest, KYT would organise a Turbo-slut edition of Kashykia's ancient national final. Kashykia placed first at the edition in question and as a result, Kashykia's national final was brought back for one special edition called: Leinen eest Kashiikija: Turbo!.

Location
Kashykia's national broadcaster held a meeting to discuss where the event should be held and immediately Kõlutaah was the front runner to host the contest as most of Kashykia's turbofolk and slutpop artists originate from the city. Furthermore the city boasts an impressive arena capable of holding 22'500 people. The arena has also played host to the Turbovision Song Contest.

Format
The contest will consist of one grand final in which all participating acts will perform. The winning entrant is the one who has the highest-score in terms of points at the end of voting, with points being allocated from each country's jury in a system of 12, 10, 8-1 points to their 10 favourite songs.

Participants
On December 24th 2018, Kashiikit Televisoon announced the 10 competing acts which would be taking part in Leinen eest Kashiikija as well as the songs and running order for the event. The show was opened by Sexy Sandra and closed by R.I.N.A.
